It is quite incredible that the European Cup/Champions League final has not been held in Lisbon, one of Europe’s major football cities, since 25 May 1967. Lisbon is the home of one of the early giants of the tournament, and has had imposing cathedral-stadiums ever since, all but one of which was brought up to modern standards for Euro 2004.
When the Lisbon Lions return to the city of their greatest triumph, one day before its 47th anniversary, they will once more represent Celtic on the world stage, just as they did in the Lisbon sun all those years ago, and on hundreds of occasions since, when they have pitched up at supporter or media events.
This is a team of The Ages. The games’ dignitaries will pay homage to them next month, while locals of an older generation will recall their youth with a glint in their eyes. Delighted their going back, hope they bring their boots.
We’re in for a treat in the run up to this year’s final.
Well done to the Celtic fans who rallied round to buy Johnny Doyle’s 1977 Cup Final shirt for his family. Stunning work.
Is it unacceptable to say ‘Hearts are going bust’? The only disputable element of this claim is its transient nature; Hearts are already bust. I think it’s commendable that a Celtic player mixes socially and culturally with Hibs fans, who he previously performed for. Remember and acknowledge those who helped you on the way up.

Robben very close there.
Need Marty Feldman eyes to watch 2 games at once !
embramike supporting wee Oscar and Res 12
You had the MF eyes in when we dropped you aff on Saturday night
What is Leigh being charged with? Bringing the game into disrepute? Hope so… cos he would defend the charge in any and every court in the land.
SFA – Stupid Feckin Arses.
SPFL – Stupid Pathetic Feckin Losers

Auldheid, do you know what the next steps, for either Celtic or the SPFL, will or should be.
Is there a mechanism within the structures in place to “blow the SFA away”?
Also, does either of those parties have a plan as to what will replace the SFA.
Finally, do either of those parties have the will to act?
Thanks and well done, to all who continue to shine a light on this.

What superiors?
Oscar for the Man U captain
SOAL
So that’s why I made to Embra – via Stirling :-)
Think ref wants rid of germans.?
Rooney stitched him up
I seem to recall players of a now defunct club from the south side of Glasgow being filmed singing sectarian songs after winning a cup final.
However I cannot remember any charges being brought by the SFA about that one.
Rooney dived got Swein sent off. Ref conned.
Rooney coulda hurdled him….but he doesn’t have to.
Big miss.
Inconsistent from referee again, valencia should have gone…
See reports Barca are baulking at Messi’s €50m wage demand. Don’t blame them, personally…
So the SFA are going to haul Griffiths up in front of them for having a wee sing song in a pub? It wd fit them and FIFA better if they investigated whats going on in Qatar where workers are being killed building stadiums for the 2018 WC.
Great display from Utd.
Still fancy Munich to go through.

We will have him says DD

Rooney could have hurdled him?? Whit wae an arse like that???
Both 1-1 draws and all to play fro in the second legs.
Man U probably can’t play any better but Bayern will have a couple suspended.
Barca need to find second gear but if they lift their game like the Classico in Madrid, they may nick it.
Roll on tomorrow
Rooney only hurdles auld woman
I remember a fresh faced Gary Hooper in one of his first press
Back to the pub teams Murderwell go second after 2-1 win over ICT. Bet that was riveting
If Leeds did have an owner ,McDermott would get bagged
Oops FIFA say CLUB was liquidated
Rangers go under
14 June
Rangers’ perilous financial position had been an open secret but there was still shock when, after 140 years of history and a world record 54 league titles, the club was consigned to liquidation in mid-June. The Glasgow giants were subsequently reformed as a new company and granted entry to the Third Division, Scotland’s fourth tier, which they currently lead by nine points with a game in hand.

… Ooops
I remember a fresh faced Gary Hooper in one of his first after match press interviews (Jan 2011) saying that IN HIS OPINION referees treated Celtic differently because they were a big club.
WHAM – 2000 pound fine from the SFA !!!
The match in question ?
When Dougie Dougie awarded Celtic a penalty for a foul on Hooper before reversing his decision….
Time to come out fighting Celtic, please, please, please, otherwise in another 3 years we’ll still be saying the same thing.
Always likes Barca, was brought up loving Brazil, but that wee rat Neymar is one of the dirtiest diving wee total ratbags I have ever had the misfortune to witness – absolute waste of talent – a stain on the reputation of club and country.

Aye they faired better than I expected.
City and arsenal would bite yer hand off for that result.
Polis – offensive behaviour act, targets Celtic fans for singing
SFA – offensive behaviour rules, only applies to Celtic Players
I could go on
Mixed feelings on our boards statement
But
I want them to stand up and be counted, defend all of Celtic, fans, players, management
And stop being seen to react to media, set our own agenda

A wee update on our wee Hero…….
@Wee_Oscar: Oscar had a tough morning, but a mostly relaxed and sleepy afternoon. Izzie came to visit, and they had some fun time! #TeamOscar
Keep up the prayers guys. KTF
Weefra HH supporting and praying for Wee Oscar.
i dont think you can put blame on rooney for that red card. he didnt do anything wrong. the fault all lies with the german player for diving in late on a yellow card
though valencia was very lucky
Both Vidic and Rooney cheated to get the opposition player in bother. I hope Bayern stuff them in the return.
Rooney lay there like he’d been done. Cheat.
Good night all
What do Valencia & Felaini bring to that Man U team?
FTSFA
When Gary Hooper was fined in Jan 2011, it was Peat.
In Leigh Griffiths case, it’s Ogilvie.
Has anything changed (apart from getting worse)?
fourgreenfields
Agreed, time for Celtic to tell them exactly how we feel :-)
Hail Hail
Right need to take the deputy oot, be back in1/2 hr :-)
